FFO, is a performance metric used to evaluate Real Estate Investment Trusts. The metric takes into account earnings from existing properties but not cash from acquisitions or sales of assets. It measures the cash-generating potential of the REIT's holdings (IE, via rental income from tenants). REIT stocks are often evaluated on their Funds from Operations multiple (stock price divided by funds from operations per share) instead of the P/E Ratio commonly used for other companies.

FFO is obtained from a company's net income, excluding any gain on real estate sold during the period and excluding any depreciation/amortization.
